Default Glareshield mounted compass?

Anyone have any experience modifying the glareshield for a partially

embedded compass? I have a brand new airpath panel mount, but would like

the panel space for a transponder, flarm, something more productive.

Ideally would prefer to swap my airpath for something I could mount somehow

half set into the glareshield, then line the whole game with black felt.

Thoughts?

Black felt will stop some glare on the glare shield, so does flat black paint. I have a pedestal mount compass towards the front of the glare shield in my Mini Nimbus, and it works well.
